Hello everyone,
After a few month with the maximus rom i wanted to test out the new Cyanogenmod rom 11 on my htc one s.
But when i try flashing it with the recovery, it fails. I heard, that i have to downgrade something in order to get the new Rom installed. What must I do?
I have been reading a lot of topics without finding a concrete answer.
I am S-ON (No superCID) and I have TWRP 2.4.1 and Hboot 2.16
How can I install CM11 successfully ?
Thx :laugh:

Aquire S-Off and SuperCID . This makes things ten times more easier . There are recent thread posts in Android development that show you how .
You will have to actually update your hboot to 2.15 and implement a twrp that supports SElinux.
1 ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322755
Use that to upgrade your hboot.
2 ) http://flemmard.net/recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-ville-selinux.img
Download and flash this recovery.
3 ) http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ville
Get the latest nightly from the get.cm
... and flash away

If you need specifics, Let me know.
I've been down your path and I hopefully can help you out on each step.
Happy flashing
S-Off
Thanks for the fast reply.
Is it better to do S Off before superCID ?
To make it s-off which méthode should i use? Facepalm or moonshine?

S-Off First, Cause that's what enables you to install different RUU's and update/downgrade firmware.
Try Facepalm
.. and for superCID, use one of the toolkit's. that one's a bit easier

You have hboot 2.16 not 1.16. What I suggest is before downgrading, try one of CM11 builds for 2.16. They're compiled by RockR172 for 2.16 and they're based on official builds. Latest available is the one from 20/12 and you'll find it in the second post from the CM11 thread. If you find then CM11 comfortable to use, you could downgrade your hboot to 2.15 and start using the official nightlies.

You right i have hboot 2.16 ...
This unofficial Rom will also work with s-off if i use "Incase you don't have S-OFF, fastboot flash boot boot.img" or won't it?

For the next step:
How can I downgrade hboot then? must i have to lock and then unlock it again with HTCdev?
Must i be s-off and supercid?

Yes. That was the one I told you about. In the second post, you'll find links to the 2.16 builds. The latest one is THIS. That step for flashing kernel in fastboot is mandatory for anyone that's S-On, for any ROM and for any hboot higher than 1.09. So after you flash that ROM, reboot to fastboot and flash the boot.img (that you have previously extracted from the ROM zip) using that command.
For downgrade, there a couple of threads describing the procedure in the Dev section, there's no need to repeat all this at this point. Fist flash this CM and see if you are OK with it...not to find later that you've downgraded and now you want MaximusHd back. Going from sense based ROMs to non-sense based ROMs was a challenge for many and there are alot of things that differs. That's why I said you might want to check first and only after take such decision
I just compiled a recent CM11 version (0109-nightly) for hboot 2.16. You can download it from
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0ajti88ZAFzYkZqNEVydkZwSzg/edit?usp=sharing
if you want. Its compiled from the official CM11 sources where additionally two cherry picks
are necessary to support the new hboot and TWRP recovery
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/53647/
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/53559/
Edit: Note that this build is ONLY for HBOOT 2.16 !!!
If you are s-on you still have to extract the kernel (boot.img) from the archive and flash it via fastboot after
flashing the zip. Alternatively you can use the FlashImageGUI app (from play store). In this case flash the boot.img BEFORE
you flash the rom zip. Worked great for me when I was still s-on and you don't need a computer to flash a
new rom.

This thread is very confusing!
Firstly the OP must be S-Off to flash the 2.16 firmware in order to run MaximusHD with the right storage etc, no? Might be confused thinking superCID is S-Off? Also, TWRP version must be 2.6.1.0 not 2.4.1?

Did the CM 0109-nightly for 2.16 hboot you compiled flash ok? Are you running it now? I think most of the dev's have had problems getting it to install properly. I don't think you can be S-On and on 2.16 hboot, unless I'm missing something?

I wasn't confused. I really was S-On with twrp 2.4.1 and it worked well
Now i'am back on hboot 2.15 and i flashed CWM in order to flash CM11.
For maximusHD on hboot 2.16 and S-ON I just followed the tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2445392
I know it may sound confusing, but maximusHD worked for me on S-ON, and it has been my daily Rom for over 3 months.
When i installed it, I just couldnt run the firmware.zip (i had a fail) but it worked correctly without.

Ok, the thing is it's the firmware.zip that gives you a hboot version of 2.16. So if you didn't flash that, you were on a lower hboot, you can still flash the ROM I believe but you only have 2gb of storage available. Anyway, It doesn't matter now. Enjoy CM11.
CM nightly on 2.16 firmware works great for me. Updated to 0110 in the meanwhile and I only have the known bugs like backlight not coming
up after a phone call and very rare reboots (indeed no reboot on 0110 since now :fingers-crossed: )
There are indeed lots of people who installed MaximusHD on hboot 2.16 with s-on over in the MaximusHD thread. It's very dangerous though
and may lead to bricked devices ...

If you had MaximusHD check your hboot again. MaximusHD requires 2.16 hboot and most of the ROMs are for 2.15. You might need either to search only for ROMs made for 2.16 (these are fewer) or to downgrade hboot to 2.15 in order to flash majority of the ROMs. Also for hboot 2.16 it is needed a special modded recovery, the official TWRP is not OK
If you want just Liberty, then you have to be sure you choose in Aroma Installer the 2.16 hboot and I think you need to use the same recovery you used for MaximusHD. Sorry but you didn't specified from start that you're on hboot 2.16. I would have told you that in this case you should keep the recovery you used for MaximusHD

No, you're fine to go as you are. Liberty is the single ROM as I know, that has in Aroma installer option for 2.15 or 2.16 hboot. So you could use with your current one as well, no need to downgrade. 2.15 will be needed if you want to flash other ROMs, mainly AOSP KitKat ones

I'm sorry man, i've got a question! I'm S-ON HBOOT 2.15. Before flashing that rom i had CM 10.2. Few days ago i decided to try this one and when aroma started i has so happy. During the installation aroma asked me to install the radio 1.35.... for LTE data connection and i did it....but now i realize why my connection data stay at everytime only on G. Is that the reason?? I am 1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L , is that because i have no any 3G H H+ data connection?? How can i fix it?? Can you please help me??
Yes, this is the reason. Being S-On, you cannot flash radios. Aroma doesn't know that and tries to install but it can't (and doesn't give an error either I think). Based on what you said, you're still on 1.11 radio and you cannot have mobile data speeds higher than UMTS with that radio. You will need 1.35 radio for that.
This is valid for Liberty ROM only. For other ROMs your radio is ok and you could reach higher speeds
As I previously said, only way is to try one of the methods to gain S-Off and then you can flash that radio. There's no other way unfortunately

Hello experts,
SOLVED WITH POST #4. GO TO SOLUTION...
My situation is :
I have a HTC One S [ S4 ] with unlocked bootloader and S -OFF . So for the reason I could install a new ROM , I had done a HBOOT version update (which I do not think is official, I am also not so well informed ) , namely , version 2.16 ( previously I had 2.15).
I've installed a modified version of TWRP that works on this HBOOT version .
Now I had this Stock Based Rom ( I do not remember exactly the name) installed and am one day to the function " Encrypt ... " encountered ! I did that and it works flawlessly.
After some time I wanted to install a different ROM ... I started up with recovery and TWRP asks me for my encryption password ! Okay I give the 4 numbers ... WRONG !
Although it is the judge Password certainly does not take TWRP to the PW . When I click Cancel , I do come into TWRP but can not do anything ! No flashing possible! I know to "undo" the encryption a reset is necessary , okay but I cannot flash anything
Can I reformat all partitions and therefore can install a new ROM?
RUU is no alternative since there is no version for this HBOOT . I hope someone can help me , the phone is indeed only the ROM does not run that great and that's why I 'm not so happy with the current function .
I hope that I can install another ROM or the Stock ROM.
Regards,
juli98
A RUU can work. The only thing to do is put to put back 2.15 HBOOT.
You'll find guides to downgrade your HBOOT. No need to relock or change CID if you are S-OFF, I've done it a few times.
Or another option would be booting into bootloader, relocking it, rebooting into bootloader and running the RUU that belongs to your CID. As far as I experienced the hboot gets downgraded automatically this way.

Have you reinstalled TWRP 2.6.1.0 or tried TWRP 2.7.0.8 for hboot 2.16? (Link) If not, it might be worth trying that before running RUU. There's an unofficial 4.2.2 RUU in the dev section here, or there's a link to the older one's in this thread. You can run RUU's with an older base than 2.16 if you are S-OFF. BACKUP EVERYTHING FIRST!

Thank You! Your Post really helped. Reinstalling TWRP did not help, but the unofficial RUU helped and now everything is fine :
if you now your're original recovery you can do anything.
I only have 50 mb after upgrading to 2.16 hboot
Did you flash the correct TWRP version? Either you flash the one from the MaximusHD Thread or you flash the one you can find here (version 2.7.1 is even capable of flashing Kitkat roms). The partition layout of your phone changed during the update so you need to use one of these modified TWRP versions.

Did you try to flash the correct version for your phone? There are different links provided for the different hboot versions in the CM thread. The file you need is "cm-12.1-20150729-UNOFFICIAL-ville.zip" and not "cm-12.1-20150729-NIGHTLY-ville.zip". Besides you cannot use the update function of CM on hboot 2.16 since it only downloads the official versions for hboot 2.15.
OK, thanks!
I didn't recognize that there are two different CM downloads...
I flashed back to hboot 2.15 and installed cm12.1 nightly with twrp, SUCCESS!!
Installation on hboot2.15 of CM12.1 with CWM isn't working... dont know why...
But hey, Phone is running.. thanks
